Qld kids on fast track to obesity, disease

A third of Queensland's kids are on a fast-track to obesity and chronic disease because they're spending too much time on electronic devices.

And more than half of the state's kids aged five to 17 aren't physically active every day.

The alarming statistics will be officially revealed in an upcoming report by Queensland's chief health officer.

The recommended maximum screen time for kids is two hours a day but 38 per cent of Queensland kids - or more than 300,000 - are exceeding that.

Older children are more likely to spend more time staring at their devices and only one in five are meeting physical activity guidelines by the time they're 16 or 17.

Cancer Council spokeswoman Katie Clift worries the statistics point to a worsening obesity crisis for a state where a quarter of all kids and half of all adults are already overweight or obese.

"Queensland cannot afford to ignore a looming health crisis created by the obesity epidemic - as a community we must find ways to be more active and improve our overall health," she says.

"Families can make small changes to cut down on daily screen time. Encourage the kids to get outdoors and spend time being active, whether it's enrolling in a team sport, spending time at the pool or kicking a ball around in the backyard."
